Product Information

Overview

Shift Premium Bluetooth Audio. Bluetooth rewritten.

Integrating a custom implementation of the native Bluetooth SBC codec, which JayBird calls Shift, BlueBuds X headphones deliver a level of purity and sound that rivals and challenges the best in wired headphones. A great feature of Shift is that it's pair and play, so nothing special is required on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, just standard Bluetooth.

PureSound white noise filtering

All in-ear headphones (wired or wireless) create white noise, which over time results in listener fatigue. JayBird's on-board filtering system, called PureSound, filters out and eliminates the white noise to give you a clean audio experience. This is especially helpful for long workouts when you've turned up the volume to motivate yourself.

Playtime to up to eight hours

Though they're among the smallest Bluetooth buds available, BlueBuds X pack an impressive eight hours of playtime—double the duration that was previously possible from such a small design. And for convenience, it uses a standard micro-USB connector for charging and includes a battery status icon on screen for iPhone users.

Patented secure fit

Patented sports ear cushions hug into the top, back, and lower surface areas of your ear—all essential for the most secure fit during sports and fitness activities.

X-Fit for over- or under-ear fit options

JayBird's patent pending X-Fit design lets you use the headphones either in the traditional under-ear wearing style for music and calls or over-ear—completely free of any cord on your neck—so it feels like you don't have any headphones on.

Signal Plus

Designed for running and outdoor sports, Signal Plus maintains a clear constant signal to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch no matter where it is.

These headphones are incredible! I bought them to replace a pair of Motorola Bluetooth headphones that I bought on Amazon. I'm an extremely heavy sweater and the Motorola's stopped working after only two weeks. I've had the JayBirds for almost a year and a half and they're still going strong!

First, they almost never fall out of your ear. I do a lot of Crossfit and the only time they start to come loose is when I'm jumping rope for an extended period of time. The "waffles" really help hold them in place.

Next, they stand up to excessive sweat extremely well. I'm in the Army and was deployed to the Middle East for the last eight months, through the summer months when the average temperature was over 120 degrees. And through that heat and my sweat, these headphones still work with zero issues.

They also work okay across a gym. I can set my iPhone down next to a rack and walk around the gym pretty freely without losing quality or the connection.

The only reason that I gave them four stars and not five is because there isn't a battery indicator on them. So you may end up losing music in the middle of your workout due to the battery dying. But honestly, that's more my problem than the headphones - I could have charged them every three or four days regardless of whether or not they needed to be charged.

I would definitely recommend these to someone looking for quality Bluetooth headphones.

I must own 30 sets of headphones. For running i've tried everything but i HATE the cord tangle that goes with all of them. i tried a few bluetooth versions but they were not stable or didn't stay in the ear or gave pretty poor sound. These guys seemed to have nailed it!

Works well. Fits well (make sure you experiment to get the tips and the wings just right for you). It makes a big difference in the amount of sound that goes in (especially during activity).

Pleasantly surprised with them. Well done Jaybird! They took an extra year to come out but overall they seem well worth it.

Best BlueTooth Headphone....ever!

I had 2 S9s and 2 S10HDs both died due to sweat. I HATE, HATE Wired headphone because I primarily use my headphone during workout sessions. This BlueBuds X is by far has the best sound, comfort & battery life. You have to try different ear piece to find what fits for you (takes me a day or two). The sound quality (deep base) rivals any wired headset and there is no 'wearing' fatigue like with other headphones. Most other headphones, I have to max out the volume, you won't have to with this one unless you want to go deaf. As an Electronic Engineer, I am quite impressed with how small the battery is for the 8 hrs of play time. The weight to battery life ratio is quite amazing.
I have iPhone 4S with iOS 6.0.1 and I have to DISABLE WIFI so that the music doesn't cutout for a second every so often. This is iOS 6 WiFi, BlueTooth problem and not the headphone's (have similar problem with Wireless Beats also). Google iOS 6 Bluetooth (or Wifi) problems for yourself and see. Come on! Apple you have got to fix this problem or this can turn to the 'iMap' fiasco I can see it now 'iPhone, iPad are great if you don't want to use BlueTooth features). Wireless Beats & BlueBuds work great on Android phones with out any problem so I am certain it's not the headphones.

I absolutely love these headphones...but I am now on my *fourth* pair because they simply do not perform under the conditions that the manufacturer specifically says that they are designed for. They are not sweat proof. If you wear these when running they will get fried over time (they've generally lasted about 3-4 months). The manufacturer is very good about accepting the returns (as I said, I'm on my fourth pair) but they simply do not perform as promised. I can't imagine that my fourth pair will be any different.

I have two sets one for me and the other for my wife who has a Samsung Note 2. Mine pairs well with iPhone 6 Plus but pairs intermittently with my apple watch.

I have iOS 8.4 My wife's pairs well with Samsung Note 2 but the control does not work such as stop or play button does not work from the headset.. I will be returning them before the 14 day return policy ends.

yup it was extremely simple to do so! press and hold the center button on the headphones til you hear a woman's voice announce it's trying to pair, then go on your apple watch in the settings for bluetooth and you will see it show up once paired. then you have to change the source for output for music from iphone to watch.

Just did an hour run and they worked fine with the Apple Watch. No skipping or drop outs. Did notice, when between tracks, that i could easily hear foot sounds and breathing much more than when using the Bose sport earphones. I imagine that is because one is sealed and the other is not?

YES! Make sure the Bluetooth is turned on, on your iPhone. Make sure the headphones are turned off, then hold the power button (middle one) on the headphones till you hear them say they are searching for a device (you will hear them say 'power on' first just keep holding the button)! Mine connected with no problem on my iPhone 6! If you have any issues look up the official instructions for the headphones, they have the detailed instructions.
